Not being on the same wavelength as your students is an occupational hazard for teachers. But for the English department, there’s the challenge of engaging a whole class in texts they’re at best reluctant to read, and at worst loathe to.What Page, Sir? records the hilarious and sometimes painful experience of a secondary school English teacher as he struggles through some very familiar literary texts with some very unenthusiastic teenagers.From the coalface of the education system, Simon Pickering serves up the comedy every teacher could do without; from rhyming couplets to re-sits, Ofsted to Covid and everything in between.Featuring the usual suspects Austen, Priestley, Golding, Waugh, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Greene, Conan Doyle, Orwell, Dickens, Shelley and, of course, the Scottish Play this book provides a fresh and irreverent look at the stalwarts of the school curriculum and asks whether it is finally time for a change.
